Linking VS2010 with Assimp

I have been trying to get assimp working with VS2010. I have seen many questions similar to this but I just can't get it to work. Read the installation tutorials here http://assimp.sourceforge.net/lib_html/install.html and still can't get it to work.

This is what I did for VS2010 project setup:

  1. All Configurations -> Configuration Properties -> VC++ Directories -> Library Directories ADDED C:\assimp--3.0.1270-sdk\lib\assimp_release-dll_x64

  2. All Configurations -> Configuration Properties -> VC++ Directories -> Include Directories ADDED C:\assimp--3.0.1270-sdk\include

  3. All Configurations -> Configuration Properties -> C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories ADDED C:\assimp--3.0.1270-sdk\include

  4. All Configurations -> Configuration Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies ADDED assimp.lib

When i write following code: 

#include <assimp/Importer.hpp>      // C++ importer interface
#include <assimp/scene.h>           // Output data structure
#include <assimp/postprocess.h>     // Post processing flags

Assimp::Importer importer;

This is the error I get:

Error   2   error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall Assimp::Importer::Importer(void)" (??0Importer@Assimp@@QAE@XZ) referenced in function "void __cdecl `dynamic initializer for 'importer''(void)" (??__Eimporter@@YAXXZ)    C:\Users\Martin Liu\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\MyGame\MyGame\Game.obj    MyGame

Error   3   error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: __thiscall Assimp::Importer::~Importer(void)" (??1Importer@Assimp@@QAE@XZ) referenced in function "void __cdecl `dynamic atexit destructor for 'importer''(void)" (??__Fimporter@@YAXXZ) C:\Users\Martin Liu\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\MyGame\MyGame\Game.obj    MyGame

Any help would be appreciated

Make sure your application's bitness matches your libraries' one. E.g. you can't link against x64 libraries if your project is 32 bit.

You can check this out by right-clicking in your project and choosing "properties" and then "Configuration Manager" button.
